Creative Cloud for Business

Getting started with Adobe Creative Cloud for teams

5 tips to get the most from your Creative Cloud for teams plan

TIP 1 – Access and manage your membership via the Admin Console

Welcome to Creative Cloud for teams. Here, you can manage and administer your membership in one central location via the Admin Console. To get started, sign in via www.adobe.com using your Adobe ID and password or if you’ve already signed in, select your name from the top navigation bar. In the navigation pane that appears, select Manage team to access the admin console.

Assign licenses

As an Administrator, you can assign licenses to allow users to download Creative Cloud apps and services, re-assign licenses and add new licenses.

Assign your license

As a default, the Administrator is not assigned a license. If you want to assign a license to yourself, start by selecting Unassigned Licenses. Here, select Assign User from the Name column then complete the fields, such as email address and select Assign User. Adobe will send an email invite. This needs to be accepted to allow access to the Creative Cloud apps.

Assign secondary administrators

As an Administrator, you can also add secondary Administrators by clicking on Administrators in the Admin Tools section and Add more.

TIP 2 – Install Creative Cloud Packager

As an Administrator, you will need to deploy Creative Cloud products and updates within your organisation. To do that, you need to download Adobe Creative Cloud Packager in the Admin Console.

Get started with Creative Cloud Packager

1 - Select Deployment from the Admin tools menu in the left-hand panel and in Step 2, select the Packager that you want to download depending on the operating system (Mac or Windows).

2 - Now download the Packager tool and install it onto your system. Once you’ve launched the Packager, you will need to select the Creative Cloud for teams plan and sign in with your Adobe ID and password.

3 - Now you can start planning, creating and deploying packages to your users.

TIP 3 – Collaborate

Creative Cloud for teams makes collaboration easier than ever, so your staff can get more done in less time. Easily share creative files, folders and custom-built asset libraries with your team and stakeholders — all from their desktops, tablets and smartphones.

To share files with another person, open the application that you are using, for example Photoshop, and select Libraries. Open the menu in the Libraries panel and click Collaborate.

This will take you to the asset library where you can invite another person to be able to share your Library. You can create a Library for a specific project and share it with your colleague.

TIP 4 – Get to know Adobe Stock

Adobe Stock is a large pool of high quality images, graphics, 3D assets and videos, all at your fingertips and available right inside the Creative Cloud apps. Because Adobe Stock is integrated within the creative apps, you can easily search for the desired asset without having to leave your project, making the process faster and your business more efficient. Once the Adobe Stock asset is licensed, all the team has access to use this via the shared Libraries.

Millions of assets. Right inside your apps.

Inspire your team with access to more than 60 million high-quality assets, graphics, 3D assets, and templates - available right inside their Creative Cloud apps.

Pooled licensing

Your team can place watermarked assets inside their projects to see how things look. Edits will update automatically when the high-res version is licensed.

Works 10x faster

One plan is all you need - each licensed asset can be used by up to 10 team members at no extra cost.

TIP 5 – Go Mobile

Not in the office but still on the job? With Creative Cloud for teams, your team can share creative assets, character styles, Adobe Stock imagery and more wherever they need to, wherever they are. And they can capture inspiration and do production-quality work on-the-go, using Adobe mobile apps. Shared Libraries update automatically, so if you have uploaded an asset via your mobile, your team can access this straight away from the office, meaning you’re always on the same page.

Enjoy using Creative Cloud for teams!
